[PMID: 37893182 PMCID: PMC10603939 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines11102810] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 10/07/2023] [Accepted: 10/13/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Our objective was to overview the most recent data on primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP) in children and teenagers from a multidisciplinary perspective. Methods: narrative review based on full-length, English-language papers (from PubMed, between January 2020 and July 2023). Results: 48 papers (14 studies of ≥10 subjects/study, and 34 case reports/series of <10 patients/study). Study-sample-based analysis: except for one case-control study, all of the studies were retrospective, representing both multicenter (n = 5) and single-center (n = 7) studies, and cohort sizes varied from small (N = 10 to 19), to medium-sized (N = 23 to 36) and large (N = 63 to 83); in total, the reviewed studies covered 493 individuals with PHP. Case reports/series (n = 34, N = 41): the mean ages studied varied from 10.2 to 14 years in case reports, and the mean age was 17 years in case series. No clear female predominance was identified, unlike that observed in the adult population. Concerning the assessments, there were four major types of endpoints: imaging data collection, such as ultrasound, 99mTc Sestamibi, or dual-phase computed tomography (CT); gene testing/familial syndrome identification; preoperative findings; and exposure to surgical outcome/preoperative drugs, like cinacalcet, over a 2.2-year median (plus two case reports of denosumab used as an off-label calcium-lowering agent). Single-gland cases (representing 85% of sporadic cases and 19% of genetic PHP cases) showed 100% sensitivity for neck ultrasounds, with 98% concordance with 99mTc Sestamibi, as well as a 91% sensitivity for dual-phase CT, with 25% of the lesions being ectopic parathyroids (mostly mediastinal intra-thymic). Case reports included another 9/41 patients with ectopic parathyroid adenomas, 3/41 with parathyroid carcinomas, and 8/41 subjects with brown tumors. Genetic PHP (which has a prevalence of 5-26.9%) mostly involved MEN1, followed by CDC73, CASR, RET, and CDKN1B, as well as one case of VHL. Symptomatic PHP: 70-100% of all cases. Asymptomatic PHP: 60% of genetic PHP cases. Renal involvement: 10.5% of a cohort with genetic PHP, 71% of sporadic PHP cases; 50% (in a cohort with a mean age of 16.7), 29% (in a cohort with a mean age of 15.2); 0% (in infancy) to 50-62% (in teenagers). Bone anomalies: 83% of the children in one study and 62% of those in two other studies. Gastrointestinal issues: 40% of one cohort, but the data are heterogeneous. Cure rate through parathyroidectomy: 97-98%. Recurrent PHP: 2% of sporadic PHP cases and 38% of familial PHP cases. Hungry bone syndrome: maximum rate of 34-40%. Case reports identified another 7/41 subjects with the same post-parathyroidectomy condition; a potential connection with ectopic presentation or brown tumors is suggested, but there are limited data. Minimally invasive thoracoscopic approaches for ectopic tumors seemed safe. The current level of statistical evidence on pediatric PHP qualifies our study- and case-sample-based analysis (n = 48, N = 534) as one of the largest of its kind. Awareness of PHP is the key factor to benefit our young patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As an invasive technique, selective venous sampling (SVS) is considered a useful method to identify a lesion's location to increase the success rate of secondary surgery in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) caused by ectopic parathyroid adenomas. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of post-surgical persistent hypercalcemia and elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in a 44-year-old woman with previously undetected parathyroid adenoma. An SVS was then performed for further localization of the adenoma, as other non-invasive methods showed negative results. After SVS, an ectopic adenoma was suspected in the sheath of the left carotid artery, previously considered as a schwannoma, and was pathologically confirmed after the second operation. Postoperatively, the patient's symptoms disappeared and serum levels of PTH and calcium normalized. CONCLUSIONS SVS can provide precise diagnosis and accurate positioning before re-operation in patients with pHPT.

Abstract
Primary hyperparathyroidism (1° HPT) is a relatively common endocrine disorder usually caused by autonomous secretion of parathormone by one or several parathyroid adenomas. 1° HPT causing hypercalcemia, kidney stones and/or osteoporosis should be treated whenever possible by parathyroidectomy. Accurate preoperative location of parathyroid adenomas is crucial for surgery planning, mostly when performing minimally invasive surgery. Cervical ultrasonography (US) is usually performed to localize parathyroid adenomas as a first intention, followed by 99mTc- sestamibi scintigraphy with SPECT/CT whenever possible. 4D-CT is a possible alternative to 99mTc- sestamibi scintigraphy. Recently, 18F-fluorocholine positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FCH PET/CT) has made its way in the clinics as it is the most sensitive method for parathyroid adenoma detection. It can eventually be combined to 4D-CT to increase its diagnostic performance, although this results in higher dose exposure to the patient. Other forms of hyperparathyroidism consist in secondary (2° HPT) and tertiary hyperparathyroidism (3° HPT). As parathyroidectomy is not usually part of the management of patients with 2° HPT, parathyroid imaging is not routinely performed in these patients. In patients with 3° HPT, total or subtotal parathyroidectomy is often performed. Localization of hyperfunctional glands is an important aid to surgery planning. As 18F-FCH PET/CT is the most sensitive modality in multigland disease, it is the preferred imaging technic in 3° HPT patients, although its cost and availability may limit its widespread use in this setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Brown tumour is a rare tumour-like lesion of the bone, which is considered as an end-stage lesion of abnormal bone metabolism caused by persistently high parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels. Brown tumour can be found in any part of the skeleton; in some cases, it can occur in multiple bones and can be easily misdiagnosed as a metastatic tumour. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 44-year-old man who presented to the Department of Oncology in our hospital with a 2-month history of local pain in his left shoulder joint. The initial diagnosis was an aneurysmal bone cyst by biopsy, for which the patient underwent tumour resection surgery. The diagnosis of a malignant tumour was made again following postoperative pathological examination. The pathological sections and all clinical data were sent to the Department of Pathology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University; the diagnosis made there was brown tumour. His blood PTH level was 577 pg/ml (15-65 pg/ml). Colour Doppler ultrasonography of the parathyroid gland suggested a parathyroid adenoma. For further treatment, the left parathyroid adenoma was removed by axillary endoscopic resection. Postoperatively, a pathologic examination was performed, and the diagnosis of a parathyroid adenoma was confirmed. One year after the surgery, the left humerus was completely healed, and the left shoulder joint had a good range of movement. CONCLUSIONS In summary, histopathological diagnosis is not sufficient for the diagnosis of brown tumours. A comprehensive analysis combining clinical symptoms with findings of imaging and laboratory tests is also required. Generally, the treatment of brown tumour includes only partial or complete resection of the parathyroid glands. However, when the tumour is large, especially when it involves the joint, surgery is indispensable.

Bone Analysis Using Trabecular Bone Score and Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry-Based 3-Dimensional Modeling in Postmenopausal Women With Primary Hyperparathyroidism. Endocr Pract 2021; 28:83-89. [PMID: 34450273 DOI: 10.1016/j.eprac.2021.08.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2021] [Revised: 08/17/2021] [Accepted: 08/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Predominance of bone loss in cortical sites with relative preservation of trabecular bone, even in postmenopausal women, has been described in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). The aim of this study was to evaluate bone microarchitectural differences using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), trabecular bone score (TBS), and DXA-based 3-dimensional (3D) modeling (3D-DXA) between postmenopausal women diagnosed with PHPT (PM-PHPT) and healthy postmenopausal controls. METHODS This retrospective study included 44 women with PM-PHPT (9 of whom had fractures) and 48 healthy women matched by age, body mass index, and years since menopause treated at Hospital Universitario Fundación Jiménez Díaz between 2008 and 2017. The bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine (LS), femoral neck, total hip (TH), and 1/3 radius was assessed using DXA, and trabecular volumetric BMD (vBMD), cortical vBMD, integral vBMD, cortical thickness, and cortical surface BMD at TH were assessed using a 3D-DXA software and TBS at LS. RESULTS The mean adjusted BMD values at LS, the femoral neck, and TH; TBS at LS; and TH 3D-DXA parameters (trabecular vBMD, integral vBMD, cortical thickness, and cortical surface BMD) were significantly reduced in women with PM-PHPT compared with those in the controls. However, differences in mean cortical vBMD were not statistically significant (P = .078). There were no significant differences in mean BMD, TBS, or the 3D-DXA parameters between patients with fractures and those without fractures. The 25-hydroxyvitamin D level appeared to be associated with TBS but not with DXA and 3D-DXA measurements. CONCLUSION PM-PHPT has significant involvement of the trabecular and cortical compartments of the bone, as determined by DXA, TBS, and 3D-DXA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In many cases primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) remains asymptomatic for years and is only detected by abnormalities in routine diagnostics. While symptomatic disease almost always requires surgical treatment, in symptom-free patients the question of whether and in what form treatment should be carried out is particularly important. OBJECTIVE The aim of this review is to summarize the current recommendations regarding the diagnostics and treatment of asymptomatic PHPT, taking the existing evidence into account. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION The diagnostics of asymptomatic PHPT is the same as for symptomatic disease. The diagnosis is made in the presence of elevated parathyroid hormone and balanced vitamin D levels when a combination of hypercalcemia, hypophosphatemia and hypercalciuria is present. Borderline laboratory findings occur especially in asymptomatic PHPT and the differential diagnosis of familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia must be considered. Once the diagnosis is made sonography, radiography or computed tomography (CT) is used to search for nephrolithiasis or nephrocalcinosis. Regarding bone mineral density (BMD) measurements, in addition to routine measurements at the lumbar spine and femur, measurement at the distal radius is important as it is the most sensitive site for detecting osteoporosis in PHPT. An indication for parathyroidectomy is confirmed in the case of hypercalcemia > 1.0 mg/dl (>0.25 mmol/l) above the upper limit of normal, hypercalciuria > 400 mg/day (>10 mmol/day), renal insufficiency, proven osteoporosis or age < 50 years. If none of these criteria are fulfilled and surgery is not desired by the patient, annual laboratory check-ups and assessment of BMD every 1-2 years are recommended.

Abstract
Background: Denosumab is a highly effective and safe first-line treatment for osteoporosis. Primary hyperparathyroidism is a prevalent condition found in patients with osteoporosis. However, data regarding effectiveness of denosumab treatment in patients with PHPT are scarce. Aims: To estimate the comparative effects of denosumab to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO) and osteoporosis caused by primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) or glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) in postmenopausal women in routine clinical practice. Materials and methods: Retrospective study based on the medical card records. Patients over 50 years of age with verified osteoporosis (based on bone mineral density (BMD) T-score ≤ -2.5 SD and/or low-trauma fracture), who had at least 3 denosumab injections were included in the study. Results: 162 patients were included and divided into three groups according to the etiology of osteoporosis. The first group consisted of postmenopausal women with osteoporosis (PMO) [(n=85); median age 70 [64;78]]. Patients with glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) were enrolled in the second group [(n=16); male to female ratio =1:15; median age 60 [57,8; 66,3]]. The third group consisted of patients with PHPT and osteoporosis [(n=61); male to female=2:59; median age 68 [63; 75]]. Among all patients, denosumab treatment significantly increased BMD and decreased serum levels of calcium and CTx compared with baseline. PMO: the median increase in BMD according to the T-score was L1-L4 0,6 (p<0,001), femoral neck 0,2 (p<0,001); serum calcium -0,04 (p=0,004). PHPT: the median increase in BMD according to the T-score was L1-L4 0,6 (p<0,001), femoral neck 0,2 (p<0,001); radius 33% 0,25 (p=0,002), serum calcium -0,04 (p<0,001). In patients with GIOP, denosumab increased BMD in the lumbar spine L1-L4 0,5 (p=0,004). There was no difference in BMD increase or in levels of bone turnover suppression between the groups. A marked decline in levels of serum calcium was noted among patients with GFR less than 60 ml / min / 1.73 m2 (median Δ Са serum=0,24 p<0,001), compared to patients without CKD (median Δ Са serum=0,08 p<0,001).Conclusion: Denosumab treatment is similarly effective for increasing BMD and decreasing bone turnover markers in patients with PMO and PHPT among postmenopausal women. The hypocalciemic effect of denosumab is most significant in subjects with PHPT.

Abstract
Objective Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common endocrine disorder of calcium metabolism. However, data concerning a large cohort of PHPT patients in the Chinese population are scarce. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine the general clinical signatures of 457 Chinese PHPT patients and explore the clinical characteristic differences between benign and malignant PHPT. Methods A single-center retrospective study was designed. Medical records between preoperation and postoperative follow-up, were assessed and statistical analysis of the clinical data was performed. Results Patients with PHPT aged 12-87 years, with a mean onset age of 56.16 ± 14.60 years, were included. Most patients (68.7%) in our center had symptomatic patterns described as bone pain (74.8%), urolithiasis (25.5%), fatigue (17.5%), and pathological fracture (13.1%), but an increasing tendency has been established in the proportion of patients with asymptomatic forms. Correlation analysis revealed that patients with higher serum levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcium presented higher serum levels of bone turnover markers (BTMs) and lower 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25OHD) values (P<0.001). Gains in bone mineral density (BMD) at L1-4, the femoral neck and the total hip were observed 1-2 years after parathyroidectomy (9.6, 5.9, and 6.8%). Parathyroid carcinoma patients presented prominently higher serum PTH and calcium levels and BTMs and lower BMD at femoral neck and total hip than benign PHPT patients (P<0.05), while no significant differences in age, sex, and serum 25OHD concentration were observed between benign and malignant PHPT patients. Conclusions PHPT should be paid attention to in the patients with bone pain. While, BMD and BTMs can differentiate parathyroid carcinoma from parathyroid adenoma and hyperplasia to some extent. In addition, anti-osteoporosis drugs could be used when necessary to avoid hip fractures in patients with parathyroid carcinoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Re-operative parathyroidectomy in patients with recurrent or persistent hyperparathyroidism can be challenging. We review our experience to determine the optimal number of localization studies prior to re-operation. METHODS From 2001 to 2019, 251 patients underwent re-operative parathyroidectomy. Parathyroidectomies were stratified to 4 groups based upon the number of positive localization studies obtained: A) ZERO, B) 1-positive, C) 2-positive, D) 3-positive. RESULTS The overall cure rate was 97%, where 201 single gland resections, 23 two-gland resections, 22 subtotal/total, and 5 forearm autograft resections were performed. Thirty-two patients had no positive studies (A), 172 patients had 1-positive (B), 42 patients had 2-positive (C), and 5 patients had 3-positive studies (D). There was no difference in surgical cure rates between groups (p = 0.71). The majority of patients had one or no positive imaging studies yet almost all still achieved cure. CONCLUSION Successful re-operative parathyroidectomy can be performed with minimal pre-operative scans in certain clinical contexts.

Abstract
Background: It is difficult to distinguish parathyroid lesions (PLs) from thyroid lesions using fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) because of their proximity and their similar cytomorphological features. Methods: FNAC smears of 46 patients with pathologically proven PLs that were histologically diagnosed as parathyroid adenoma (PA, n = 35), parathyroid hyperplasia (PH, n = 3), atypical parathyroid adenoma (APA, n = 1), and parathyroid carcinoma (PC, n = 7) were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed. Results: Our initial cytological diagnoses indicated correct diagnoses in 31 of 46 PL patients (67%). The 15 erroneous diagnoses were 5 patients with non-specific benign disease (11%), 4 with nodular hyperplasia of the thyroid (9%), 5 with atypical cells (11%), and 1 with a metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma (2%). Follicular pattern, papillary structures, colloid-like material, and macrophages, which often suggest thyroid lesions, were also present in some PLs. We found that branching capillaries along the papillary structures, stippled nuclear chromatin, and frequent occurrence of naked nuclei were useful for determining a parathyroid origin. Conclusions: It is important to be aware that PLs are frequently mistaken for thyroid lesions based on FNAC. The specific and unique characteristics of PLs identified here may be helpful in diagnosis.

Abstract
Marine biodiversity provides a range of diverse biological resources, including seafoods that are rich in protein and a well-balanced amino acid composition. Previous studies have shown that peptides can improve bone formation and/or inhibit bone resorption, suggesting the potential for seafood bioactive peptides (SBPs) in development of food and pharmaceuticals for management of osteoporosis. In this review, we provided an up-to-date overview of the anti-osteoporosis activity of SBPs and describe their underlying molecular mechanisms. We focus on SBPs' development, broadening the scope and depth of research, as well as strengthening in vivo and clinical research. In vitro cell cultures and in vivo animal osteoporosis models have demonstrated the potential for seafood-derived SBPs, including fish, mollusks, crustaceans, seaweed and microalgae, in preventing osteoporosis. These peptides may act by activating the signaling pathways, such as BMP/Smads, MAPK, OPG/RANKL/RANK, and NF-κB, which are associated with modulation bone health.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluate our initial experience of transoral vestibular approach parathyroidectomy (TOEPVA) for the treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism. METHODS We conducted a prospective study of patients with single parathyroid adenoma, using TOEPVA to perform the parathyroidectomy. The variables we analyzed were size, volume, and location of the adenoma, bleeding, identification, and preservation of the recurrent laryngeal nerve, injury to the mental nerve, and the effective cure rate, using measures of central tendency. RESULTS Our study included 21 women, with an average age of 43 years. The recurrent laryngeal nerve and mental nerve suffered no permanent damage, the average size of the adenoma was 26.6 mm, and a volume of 3.95 mL. We were able to identify the adenoma and cure the hyperparathyroidism in 20 of the patients (95.2%). CONCLUSIONS TOEPVA is viable and safe in who wish to avoid the cervical scar resulting for the patient with primary hyperparathyroidism.

Abstract
PURPOSE Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common endocrine disorder and is usually diagnosed in adults. PHPT due to ectopic parathyroid adenoma in adolescents is rare. METHODS We describe the case of a 15-year-old boy with PHPT due to ectopic parathyroid adenoma. A review of the literature of PHPT in adolescents was performed, focusing on etiology, clinical presentation, preoperative localization methods, pathology, and treatment. RESULTS The patient was successfully treated with surgery and was followed up for 5 years with no signs or symptoms of hyperparathyroidism. By reviewing the literature, only seven cases of PHPT associated with ectopic parathyroid lesions in adolescents have been reported. Parathyroidectomy is the only known curative treatment. Accurate preoperative localization of the target lesion is critical. CONCLUSIONS This study should raise awareness of the diagnosis and treatment of PHPT due to ectopic parathyroid adenoma/carcinoma in adolescents.

Abstract
AIM To analyze the effect of the surgery in bone mineral density (BMD) and to study the value of preoperative clinical and analytical factors as predictors of bone increase. MATERIAL AND METHODS Prospective observational study. Postmenopausal women who were operated for primary hyperparathyroidism were included. A bone densitometry of the lumbar spine and femoral neck and analytical determinations (parathyroid hormone [PTH], alkaline phosphatase, albumin, phosphate, creatinine, 25-hydroxy-vitamin D3, creatinine clearance, and calciuria) were performed previous to the intervention and after 12 months from surgery. RESULTS Two hundred and twenty-eight patients were operated on for primary hyperparathyroidism were considered for study, 108 postmenopausal women entered in the final analysis. The mean age was 63 ± 7 yr. After the intervention, a significant increase in BMD was observed in the two locations analyzed, although this increase was significant greater at the level of the lumbar spine. In the lumbar spine, 68 patients (63%) recorded a significant postoperative increase in bone density. Median postoperative BMD was 0.860 g/cm2 (interquartile range: 0.93). The observed average percentage of density increase was 6.63 ± 17.9. In femoral neck, 61 patients (56.6%) registered a significant increase in bone density. Median postoperative BMD value was 0.741 g/cm2 (interquartile range: 0.76). The average percentage of density increase was 3.19 ± 17.9. In the lumbar spine, patients with osteoporosis before surgery increased postoperative BMD more frequently than those with osteopenia or normal density. Patients who increased BMD preoperatively presented lower bone density levels both in the lumbar spine (median: 0.775, interquartile range: 0.882) and in the hip (median: 0.655, interquartile range: 0.562) than patients in whom it was not observed postoperative increase. PTH preoperative serum was lower among patients who increased bone density in the femur (median: 141 pg/ml, interquartile range: 291) than among those who did not (median: 152 pg/ml, interquartile range: 342) (p = 0.01). In the multivariate analysis, the increase in BMD in the lumbar spine was related to preoperative BMD (odds ratio [OR] 0.084, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.007-0.961); in femoral neck it was related to preoperative BMD (OR 0.001; 95% CI: 0.0-0.028) and to the preoperative PTH serum concentration (OR 0.99; 95% CI: 0.98-0.99). CONCLUSIONS After surgery, a significant increase in BMD was observed in the lumbar spine and femoral neck. In the multivariate analysis, preoperative bone density was the factor that showed the highest predictive value of the increase in BMD after surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with primary hyperparathyroidism are at risk for skeletal and renal end-organ damage. METHODS We studied patients with biochemically confirmed primary hyperparathyroidism from 1995-2014 and quantified the frequency of osteoporosis, nephrolithiasis, hypercalciuria, and decrease in renal function. RESULTS The cohort comprised 9,485 patients. In total, 3,303 (35%) had preexisting end-organ effects (osteoporosis, 24%; nephrolithiasis, 10%; hypercalciuria, 5%). Of 6,182 remaining patients, 1,769 (29%) exhibited progression to 1 or more end-organ effects over a median 3.7 years. Among patients with classic primary hyperparathyroidism (calcium and parathyroid hormone increased), progression was unrelated to the degree of hypercalcemia (calcium >11.5 mg/dL, hazard ratio 1.03, 95% confidence interval 0.85-1.25; 11.1-11.5 mg/dL, HR 1.07, 95% confidence interval 0.93-1.23; 10.5-11.0 mg/dL = reference). Patients with nonclassic primary hyperparathyroidism (calcium increased, parathyroid hormone 40-65 pg/mL) had a lesser risk of progression (calcium >11.5 mg/dL, hazard ratio 0.68, 95% confidence interval 0.50-0.94; 11.1-11.5 mg/dL, hazard ratio 0.68, 95% confidence interval 0.56-0.82; 10.5-11.0 mg/dL, hazard ratio 0.66, 95% confidence interval 0.59-0.74). End-organ damage developed before or within 5 years of diagnosis for 62% of patients. CONCLUSION End-organ manifestations of primary hyperparathyroidism develop before biochemical diagnosis or within 5 years in most patients. End-organ damage occurred more frequently in patients with classic primary hyperparathyroidism versus nonclassic primary hyperparathyroidism, regardless of severity of hypercalcemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Women with higher serum calcium may be more likely to be diagnosed and die of ovarian cancer. We evaluated that finding in a large, prospective cohort. METHODS We conducted a nested case-control study using a population-based biobank from Norway. We compared 202 ovarian cancer cases and 202 controls, matched for age, date at blood draw, and county of residence, with respect to serum calcium and albumin, adjusted for anthropometric variables. We evaluated risks using the entire follow-up period as well as 2-15 years and 16-25 years ("early" and "late", respectively). RESULTS For the entire follow-up, risk was significantly increased in the highest tertile of albumin and for high albumin and calcium jointly. Risks for ovarian cancer differed markedly by follow-up time. In early follow-up, women in the highest tertile of serum calcium had a 2.5-fold increased risk, adjusted for height and body mass index (OR=2.47, 95% C.I. 1.12-5.45) with a significant dose-response (p=0.024). Risk was not elevated in late follow-up (OR=0.62, 95% C.I. 0.27-1.36). Similarly, in early follow-up, women in the highest tertile of serum albumin had an increased risk (OR=2.55, 95% C.I.1.22-5.49) with a significant dose-response (p=0.009). Conversely, risk was not increased in late follow-up (OR=1.36, 95% C.I. 0.65-2.83). CONCLUSIONS These data confirm a prospective association between higher serum calcium and ovarian cancer. An association in early, but not late, follow-up suggests that the higher calcium reflects the presence of existing cancer. A positive association with serum albumin is novel and should be interpreted cautiously.
